This peaking program from @thicccon has me feeling absolutely fantastic. Weights are moving incredibly well, putting up some big numbers and the fatigue is totally under control. 4x4 @415 on #squats and 4x4 @425 on #deadlifts for an intense #lowerbody day.

And evil takes exercise form in the devil's press. Don't be fooled because it may seem like your typical ass kicking, hard af, challenging ho-bag workout. But in reality, it's so much more 😈 #devilspress#meangirlquotes#weliftonmondays

There is so much more to sled work than just pushing it until you drop. In the video you can see presses, rows, drags, squats and that’s really just touching the surface.
-
One of the major benefits of sled work is that you can do a lot of work and experience little to no muscle soreness the next day.
-
This is because sled work does not involve eccentric loading (the lowering phase of a lift). It is the lowering phase, not the lifting phase of a lift which is largely responsible for small muscle tears associated with training and muscle growth.
-
This makes it a great tool to add extra volume without compromising performance on subsequent days.
-
The other advantage is that because there is no lowering phase it eliminates impact forces usually associated with something like sprinting. This allows you to get pretty much all the benefits of a sprint session without the cranky joints afterwards (if you suffer from that sort of thing).
-
So next time you’re in the gym give it a shot. You’ll be surprised how much versatility this bit of equipment provides.
-
Have you ever used the sled? What’s your favourite routine?

Meet Aymeric. He’s probably my favorite client to work with. He’s had to work through a lot to get to this point, but he stays focused and is always willing to try. All I really want from my clients is for them to TRY!

Motivation Monday: Forever Young!

It’s never to late to start working out! In fact, staying fit will help keep us young. Here are a few of my 75+ clients putting in the work💪🏼. I’m beyond proud of these amazing individuals, as well as my other hard working clients. These two are true motivation. I can only wish to be as active, healthy, and happy as them as I get older. .

All too often I hear people make excuses as to why they can no longer work out. It falls on deaf ears. There is no excuse. The body is designed for movement. As one expert puts it, “the lack of movement is called death”. .

As we age our body undergoes both osteopenia and sat open is. To counter this, we must lift!
